Surprise - Raphael

     "Yes miss." A obedient fledgling bowed as he scurried off to complete the orders you gave him.
     "You know Y/N, you could be a little nicer." The familiar voice of your boyfriend, Raphael said as he walked into the room. You turned to face the attractive vampire before speeding towards him and pinning him against the wall.
     "Hmmm sweetheart, what makes you think I'm capable of that?" You question playfully bringing you face closer to his while smirking. His usual smoulder grew into a smirk at this side of you. You were the only one who could treat him this way and get away with this. Partly, he usually gave you some sort of a punishment.
     "Now now Y/N, if you keep this attitude I might not let you go help Simon." You grinned at his response deciding to test your luck.
"Now now sweetheart," you repeated, teasing him, "who says I want to go help Simon."
Raphael knew you had a soft spot for Simon. No only was he a descendant of you family lineage, but the way he was turned hit you close. The two of you had been taken turns to help him control his thirst around humans. Today it was your turn to take Simon out the the park. Of course it would be dark but there always is a few stupid mundanes walking around.
     You sighed letting go of Raph at the thought of seeing mundanes. The were stupid, weak, and so confident that they were at the top of the food chain. Obviously they weren't. Raphael noticed your change in mood and immediately moved to comfort you but wrapping his arms around you with his chest pressed against your back.
     "What's the matter love?" He questions resting his chin on your shoulder, nuzzling his face into you neck, kissing it lightly.
     "I don't want to go to the park with all those mundanes." You pouted grimacing at the thought of them.
     "If you want I can go with Simon tonight and you can have a free night." Raph offers. You smile at his sincerity but decline anyways.
     "No I haven't seen Si in a while. I should–"
     "Excuse me miss, what you have asked of me is completed I–" an unwanted vampire bursted into the room.
     "Not now you imbecile. Have you ever heard of knocking?" You growled at the younger vampire.
     "Sorry miss." They said before leaving again.
     "You know love, my prior statement still stands. You could be a little nicer." You closed your eyes and leaned back into him.
      "I'm their queen Raph. They must learn to respect me." Raph chuckled in response before letting go of you and placing a chaste kiss on your forehead.
     "I'll see you in the morning love."

     "No go talk to," your eyes scanned the crowd of unsuspecting mundanes before picking out an innocent looking girl, "her."
     "What!? She literally looks like another mundane could snap her in half and she's cute. I can't talk to cute girls." Simon whined. You rolled your eyes at his response feeling extra on edge because of how full of mundanes the park was at four in the morning.
     "Good, now I'm helping you control yourself and teaching you how to talk to girls." You replied sarcastically.
     "You know what Y/N, you obviously don't want to be here so why don't we go separate ways." You rolled your eyes for the nth time at Simons dramatics.
     "Whatever. We'll continue this on Thursday night." You sigh actually grateful to get out of the park.
     "Why not tomorrow night?" Simon questions.
     "I have plans." You responded vaguely, thinking about the details Raphael planted into your mind before.
     "Whatever my liege." Simon muttered thinking you didn't hear. You didn't think before immediately flipping Simon so he was on his back with your foot pressed against his neck.
     "You may be part of my lineage, but you will not disrespect me." You seethed, fed up with the attitude.
     "I'll meet you here Thursday, midnight. Don't be late." You said while turning and walking away from newbie, not bothering to turn back. 
     You checked your watch to see it was  just past four. You sighed knowing it was too late to do something but didn't want to return to the Hotel Du Mort so soon.
     You decided to walk at a normal pace knowing you needed to cool off before returning to Raphael. You were lost in your thoughts while the smell of mundane blood nearly knocked the wind out of you.
     Your instincts told you to check it out, hoping that it was a younger vampire who you could turn in and not have to worry about anymore. They were starting to get unbearable.
     You arrived at the scene in the back of an alley to see three slaughtered women. A closer look revealed that the killer definitely was a mundane.
     They kill each other for their own sick needs. Talk about stupid.
     The smell of the blood was starting to get to you. The only thing that broke your concentration was the cry of a newborn baby. You looked around to see a stroller carefully parked to the side of the building wall.
    At least the killer had a conscious. No one with a conscious could kill a baby.
     You carefully approached the strolled where the wailing baby sounded like it was screaming for its life. You pulled back the blanket the car seat that connected to the stroller the see a child the looked only three months. It's cries only increased as the blanket was now gone.
    "Shhh, little one. We can't alarm anyone can we?" You ask in a soft voice as you delicately unbuckled the child and cradled it in your arms. The cries stopped as you held the baby, it's eyes opening. You were mesmerized by the bright blue hue of its eyes.
     "Hello there little one. What are we going to do with you?" You ask silently. You checked your watch to see you haven't got much time before sunrise and you need to return to the Du Mort.
     You placed the baby back into its car seat and started driving the stroller towards the hotel. All that was running through your mind was what to do with the child.
     I can't keep this mundane. No matter how cute. I'll find a home for it first thing at sundown. It will have a good life then.
     You hadn't thought about much as you entered yours and Raph's shared room and placed the stroller near the edge of the bed. You say on the bed and placed your head in your hands.
     Where can I leave this child?
    "Y/N?!" Raphael shout for you made your blood run cold.
    I haven't thought of Raphs reaction. He is going to be pissed.
     "Y/N! Are you back?" He continued to yell as he entered your room. "Hey love, how did it go with Simon tonight?" He asked, then he sniffed the room before focusing his eyes on the stroller. "What is that?" He asked another question, this one much colder and harder to explain.
     "Well... I ... i–" the words wouldn't fall from you mouth as you tried to form an explanation Raphael would accept.
     "I'm going to get rid of it. I didn't have enough time." You pleaded. Raphs response was cut off by the baby's cries. You jumped up and immediately went the comfort the child like it was your own. Raphael looked at you with renewed interest as you swaddled the baby and it calmed down under your touch.
     "You'll get rid of it?" He asked his voice hard. You looked up with vulnerability that Raph had never seen on you. You were strong and independent, he knew about your past which is why he let you treat everyone like they had no meaning. It was for self protection.
       "Yes," you nodded, "I'll find a good home for it where it can grow to be a good mundane." Raphael heard your voice waver and hesitated to ask.
     "Y/N, before you turned... did you want kids?" You looked slightly taken aback by the question and looked down the child that had fallen asleep on you arms.
     "Ah, well, yes. Of course I did. Back then it was a women's purpose. It always brought me happiness to know one day I would have children." You replied truthfully. Raphael sighed before looking at the baby in your arms.
     "Here let me hold it." You were even more taken aback and even scared at Raphs response to this conversation. You cautiously handed the sleeping baby into his arms where he gently cradled it.
    "We'll keep it until we find a good home for it. Then it's gone." You nodded furiously at his decision as you watched the man you love cradle the child.

     It had been a month and you still held baby Harry in your arms. After continuous nights of searching, you and Raphael deemed that there was no where safe for Harrison to go. That's what you named him, Harrison. After the first night you and Raph agreed that as long as Harry was with you, you couldn't stay at the Du Mort with the curious vampires with good hearing around. You had rented an apartment and that's where you stayed.
      You and Raph had continually bought stuff for Harry. On night it was a crib, the next night a high chair. It didn't take long for Harry to have everything he needed in this apartment.
     It was almost sundown and Harry had just woken up for his supper. He was sat in high chair with mash potato, carrot, and peas baby food in front of him as you spoon fed. The front door opened and closed.
     "Raph, sweetheart is that you?" You called as you continued to make weird faces to the child in front of you to get him to eat.
     "Hey love." Raph replied while pressing a kiss to your forehead before looking at Harry.
     "Hello little guy. How was my boy today?" He asked the child. Harry just sputtered and giggled at him with food surrounding his mouth.
     "He was great today. Went down for his naps without a trouble. He even rolled over all by himself." You replied. Raphael smiled and his eyes lit up at the fact.
     "Well aren't you a smart one." He said proudly. Raph then turned to you placing a kiss on your lips before going around the apartment to open the heavy duty curtains that kept out the sun light.
     "How was the Du Mort?" You asked as you continued to feed Harry.
     "It was fine. Everyone seems to be a lot less tense now that your not around." You glared the handsome man as he turned to you, smiling, "but they haven't been listening all that well. You had that effect on them." You smirked in response before getting up to put Harry's empty plate of food in the sink.
     "Time for your bath little dude." You say to Harry as he just continues to try and talk.
     "Here love, I've got it." Raph says before picking up the baby and carrying him to the bathroom. You followed them just to watch the love of your life and the child you have grown to love play with each other.
     Truthfully, there were plenty of families that could've taken Harry. But you couldn't let go and now, even Raphael wouldn't let anyone hurt or even come near taking Harry away. Sure it would cause some problems in the future, but you could over come them. As a family. Besides. Who says having a family is ever planned. It's always a surprise.
